Rabbi Juan Mejia Forcibly converted during the Inquisition, many Jews continued to practice their religion in secrecy for several decades, after which time some were able to escape to lands of religious tolerance, while others assimilated into the Catholic majority. Or did they? Join Rabbi Juan Mejia—who himself discovered his Jewish ancestry at age 15—in exploring the world of Anusim (descendants of those converted by force or coercion) and learn about his work with Anusim communities in Latin America and the American Southwest.
